New England released a list of seven inactive players, headlined by running back TreVeyon Henderson, who remains sidelined with an ankle injury. Offensive lineman Ben Brown is also unavailable due to a knee issue, leading to Jared Wilson starting at center. While wide receiver Efton Chism III was ruled a healthy scratch, defensive lineman Christian Barmore is active for the game despite a recent knee concern.
